Congrats to Enes Kanter Freedom

Welcome to the newest US citizen - Enes Kanter FREEDOM.

Good for him! Having spoken out about dictatorships in Turkey and China there was a target on his back. May his new status as a US citizen give him the protection to continue to speak out. Changing his last name to "Freedom" gives you an idea on how highly he holds the concept. 

I Stand with Enes Kanter

More info on why the Celtics' Enes Kanter spoke out against China.

Kanter is a brave man living in exile from his own country. He knew he'd get death threats but spoke out anyway. 

Good on Enes Kanter

"The NBA's Chinese broadcast partner abruptly erased Boston Celtics highlights and live streams from its website and app on Thursday, not long after Celtics center Enes Kanter called China's leader, Xi Jinping, a 'brutal dictator.'"

How do you insult a pig by calling it a pig? Don't trust China - China is asshole! Free Tibet! Free Hong Kong!

Good for Enes Kanter

Not everyone in the NBA is a stooge.

- Knick's center Enes Kanter's father indicted in Turkey on "terrorism" charges. Enos Kanter is prohibited from returning to Turkey. Terrorism is in scare quotes because this looks to be politically motivated charges.

- Good to know!
